Oct 23, 2023Konami could have done more, for sure. There are several titles that really could have been included in this collection for the sake of completion – Metal Gear Solid 4 remains locked to the PlayStation 3, while MGS Acid and Twin Snakes look pretty set to be lost to time at this point. Sure, MGS V remains a viable product in its own right, but Konami really could have filled us in on the rest...With that being said, the original Metal Gear Solid trilogy isn’t just a trio of great games that people have strong nostalgia for. They’re genuine masterpieces and deserve to be preserved into perpetuity. This collection is a perfectly adequate way of preserving them for this hardware cycle.

Oct 23, 2023Metal Gear Solid: Master Collection Vol. 1 brings together five stellar video games from a beloved series. While a lack of further improvements and minor bugs get in the way, newcomers and die-hard MGS fans alike can find a trove of incredible content in this bundle. Kojima’s masterpieces have been respected, honoured and have demonstrated their quality through the ages, a meme passed down worthy of the title of Big Boss.

Nov 16, 2023The first part of the collection includes some of the most influential and unique games of a bygone era. New and old gamers alike have a great opportunity of reliving these gems albeit with some technical caveats from Konami's emulation of those titles.

Oct 23, 2023Metal Gear Solid: Master Collection Vol. 1 does precisely what it claims to do - bring the first three Metal Gear Solid games to all major platforms after a much-felt absence. While the technical updates given to each game are scarce, this still represents a great way to get into one of the most important and prolific series in video games. Could there be some more touch-ups to modernise these games? Absolutely. But it’s hard to ignore the quality of the games included in this package, and it’s a testament to their strengths that, even with slight improvement, they’re still as compelling as ever.

Nov 6, 2023The Master Collection is a robust bundle comprising three classic games and a plethora of additional content. It serves as a warm invitation to both seasoned veterans and newcomers to the franchise. However, it's important to note that MGS 1 hasn't aged as gracefully.

Oct 23, 2023Extras aside (which are fantastic), it’s a compilation that feels a bit lazy, but, at least, we can finally play some of the best games ever made on any current platform.

Nov 20, 2023At best, the Metal Gear Solid HD Master Collection is a cynical cash grab that is trying to repackage and resell you on nostalgia. There are very few reasons to part with your cash at this point: wait for a proper ground-up remake.
